LATEST AI NEWS

AMAZON VS PERLEXITY

Amazon has issued a legal threat to Perplexity, accusing its AI-powered shopping bot, Comet, of violating platform rules by not disclosing its identity while operating on Amazon.com.

The Details:

  • Amazon claims Comet breaks terms of service by failing to identify itself as an AI agent

  • Perplexity argues agents acting on behalf of humans don’t require separate disclosure

  • Amazon says other services (e.g., food delivery, travel booking) disclose agent activity

  • Perplexity accuses Amazon of protecting ad revenue and stifling innovation

  • Legal tension follows previous accusations of Perplexity ignoring AI crawler blocks

Why it matters:

This case could set a precedent for how AI agents interact with major platforms and whether bots must identify themselves. It’s a signal that the future of agentic browsing may hinge on platform-controlled rules.

LAMDA & MICROSOFT

Lambda has signed a multibillion-dollar agreement with Microsoft to deploy tens of thousands of Nvidia GB300 GPUs, expanding AI supercomputing capacity.

The Details:

  • Lambda will deploy tens of thousands of Nvidia GB300 NVL72 systems via Microsoft, scaling GPU access for AI workloads

  • The deal builds on an 8-year partnership and follows Microsoft’s GB300 cluster launch in October

  • Lambda, backed by Nvidia and founded in 2012, has raised $1.7B amid rising AI infra demand

  • The announcement came hours after Microsoft’s $9.7B cloud compute deal with IREN in Australia

  • It follows OpenAI’s $38B AWS deal and a reported $300B agreement with Oracle for compute

Why it matters:

Cloud players are rapidly locking in AI infrastructure as demand skyrockets. Lambda’s deal with Microsoft reflects the growing arms race for GPU power and solidifies Lambda’s role as a key AI infra provider.
